fill and sand smooth. you may need to install an access port on the deck in a spot that you can survey the interior and also check on water intrusion. You should also straighten or re-align the metal bailer fitting by approx. 45 degrees to the north.
Good job on the centerboard and rudder, they look great and should work well. I would suggest replacing all the lines: new halyard, new mainsheet, and new bridle. If you do what was mentioned above: just wash the deck, repair and work on the bottom, and get a good working hiking stick attached...
I think it was well proven that you can definitely teach someone in 20+. Yes, it helped that Megan was athletic and had no fear. She was very game to drive, flip, and I can't believe she was walking the bow with a camera in hand on day one. I wish he had a ratchet, and that she was wearing...
I have purchased from Intensity in the past and am always happy with their product and service. The Intensity website is pretty clear on the legality and usage of their products.
I don't think Intensity sells builder supplied Laser parts. I thought they sold replicate parts that are not
officially class legal. I am sure a class measurer or other person with more knowledge will follow up with official
answer.
Wow, proves the power of the Laser Forum. Any way to document the recovery and the probable restoration? As mentioned, hopefully the hull is in workable shape. How was it lost? How far did it travel? What shape is it in? Are they happy to rid the yard of it? Looks like a good story. Congrats to...
I'm fairly sure (don't quote me on this) that it doesn't matter what blocks you use on the controls.
But it seems perfectly legal. (Again find/talk to a measurer for absolute confirmation).
I have a question about the 2 control blocks on the deck plate for Outhaul and Cunningham. Can these...
congrats on jumping in to sailing. i moved back east recently after a few great years in the Minneapolis area. throw a rock and you'll hit a lake, the majority of which are used by active sailing fleets. I own and raced Lasers and was lucky to get a few rides on J-24's and even luckier to drive...
great video, with 2 camera action. i have to ask, did Jon sail the entire regatta with the cameras? conditions looked ideal. i also assume the cameras are in waterproof cases?
If trailering with your Kitty Hawk, which is just what i do, and you only use the
bottom cover - Beware. If it rains at all, the cover will trap the run-off water and either separate from the boat in the aft half or just sag. You must stop and empty it or it really screw things up. Make sure...
What kind of shockcord or bungee cord tension are you using? The bungee cord would run
from the hole in the top of your centreboard back to the boweye. If tensioned properly
this would eliminate having to hold the board up. Sometimes too much tension
will cause the board to 'pull' up while...
First, keep looking. The damage that the freeze-thaw cycle of water and ice probably
caused to the interior will be hard to fix.
if it was stored deck-up, the water could have seeped in through the mast step or the
cockpit. That much water in a hull for a winter season is just not good...
i don't know if glassing over your bailer is a good idea. repairing it and knowing how to use it may be a better option. racing or not, a functioning bailer is a good thing. even having it available after racing on the trailer to empty the cockpit is useful.
